Yesterday we held our second Sponsor Summit in the attendance of Herman Van Rompuy, president of the European Council. A few of our important sponsors, such as Belfius and Lotus Bakeries came to talk about their partnership with 2014 Special Olympics European Summer Games.

SO2014 would like to thank every volunteer, runner and everyone that has supported us during the Antwerp 10 Miles. With your support, we will make the 2014 Special Olympics European Summer Games just as memorable. Below you will find a link to our photo album.

When you register online for the DVV Antwerp Marathon, the 10 Miles, the Ladies, Short or Kids Run, the following question is asked on page 4: "If you would like to support the association 'Special Olympics', please indicate ‘yes’ below." ... Don't hesitate ... Say 'YES' to SO2014!

It’s been almost three months now since the first regional Host Town meetings took place. The SO2014 team is eager to know what plans the towns made in the meantime. Will the delegations stay with local families or in a local guesthouse? Will the towns organize a DJ-party? A BBQ? ... We are all very excited to find out the answers to these and lots of other questions ...

On 26 November, the 2014 Special Olympics European Summer Games were presented to European MPs, the media and invited guests. The largest sporting event set to take place in Belgium next year will receive substantial support from the European Parliament. A welcome shot in the arm!
